Hachette NZ release children's picture book for Jacinda

To congratulate Jacinda and Clarke on the arrival of their baby girl, Hachette NZ release new children's book

Yesterday the country waited for news of the new little First Baby and it was finally revealed on Instagram last night, that our PM had given birth to a baby girl at 4.45pm.

"Welcome to our village wee one," Jacinda captioned their very first family photo.

The country has been offering their congratulations in lots of ways, many of them creative! Today it was announced that Hachette NZ will be releasing a children's book called Shhh! Don't Wake the Baby, a very Kiwi welcome to this newest member of our whanau.

Hachette Managing Director Melanee Winder says, "The team has been counting down the days for this bundle of joy to arrive and we finally pushed print this morning! We will be printing as fast as we can to have this wonderful book available as soon as possible."

Illustrated by Scott Pearson, Shhh! Don't Wake the Baby will be at all good booksellers in September 2018.
